Is baby too big?

Share

I had my daughter at 34 weeks my last pregnancy and she was 5lbs at birth. I am currently 11 weeks with my second, but I am so worried that I will be put on bed rest this time around. I worry that the baby will be too big if I carry full term as large babies (8-11lbs) run in my husbands family. Has anyone else gone through this?
